Chapter 17
1
And Jehovah/God spoke unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak
unto the children of Israel,
and
take of every one of them a rod
according
to the house of their fathers,
of
all their princes
according
to the house of their fathers
twelve
rods.
Write
you every man's name upon his rod.
3
And you will write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi.
For
one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
4
And you will lay them up
in
the tabernacle of the congregation
before
the testimony,
where
I will meet with you.
5
And it shall come to pass,
that
the man's rod,
whom
I shall choose,
shall
blossom.
And
I will make to cease from Me
the
murmurings of the children of Israel,
whereby
they murmur against you.
6
And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel,
and
every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece,
for
each prince one, according to their fathers' houses,
even
twelve rods.
And
the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
7
And Moses laid up the rods before Jehovah/God
in
the tabernacle of witness.
8
And it came to pass,
that
on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness;
and,
behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded,
and
brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
9
And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah/God
unto
all the children of Israel.
And
they looked, and took every man his rod.
10
And Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
Bring
Aaron's rod again before the testimony,
to
be kept for a token against the rebels;
and
you will quite take away their murmurings from Me,
that
they die not.
11
And Moses did so.
As
Jehovah/God commanded him, so did he.
12
And the children of Israel spoke unto Moses, saying,
Behold,
we die, we perish, we all perish.
13
Whosoever comes any thing
near
unto the tabernacle of Jehovah/God
shall
die.
Shall
we be consumed with dying?
